The prompt

Copy the complete prompt (it wraps the request below so the AI returns a clean, runnable session).

Write me a 35-minute beginner full-body strength workout for a man in his 60s, using machines and simple compound movements. Include a leg press or sit-to-stand, a chest press, a row, an overhead press and a calf raise. Start light with 2 to 3 sets of 8 to 12 reps and tell me to progress the load gradually as it gets easier, resting about 90 seconds between sets. Add a gentle warm-up and a form cue per exercise. List every exercise with its sets, reps, rest in seconds and a guide load or RPE.

Works with Claude, Gemini, Grok or any AI.

Why it's built this way

Resistance training in adults over 50 adds meaningful lean muscle (roughly 1 kg on average) and strength, directly countering the age-related muscle loss (sarcopenia) that threatens independence. Start light and progress steadily.
